Gorilla Snawt Review

thanks sjcrss - i actually emailed em about usage in diffs (why it escaped me earlier i have no idea), and this was their reply for anyone interested =)

Dear danhfvcsd,

If you have a gear set diff like a rock crawler, it is perfect. If it is a spider set type diff, then it is not "fluid" enough. It is equivalent to a 100W oil for viscosity, but it is not fluidic like an oil or standard diff lube to always "flow" around the spider gears.

oh - and my tub was already in the post before i woke up this morning, after ordering it last night as i was posting my previous post in this thread - I got a tracking number and all, which i didn't expect too, sweet! =)

+1 just got my 26cc tub. i skipped the small tubes on all of your praise for the product and im glad i did, its now going in all transmissions

GOOD STUFF

[sjcrss]

wow....26cc, that is a heck of alot of SNAWT you got there....

dayum, maybe i got too much then judging by that response... i got the 2oz/52cc tub...
It wasn't expensive though (somewhere around the 30 dollar mark incl shipping), and being in Australia, i figure i won't need to order any more for a fair while, and i can share the love with mates i guess =)

sorry to double post, but thought i might bump it =)
I found 2 pics i took a while ago when my tub came in, but forgot to upload em till just now -lol- Dunno if they're any use to anyone - but i know i was curious to see how big it was gonna be hehehe

Here's my 52cc tub next to a standard sized servo...



Plenty of grease to last a while =)

i have been running gorilla snawt in my rustler for a little while now and it is great. It is a little thick for a rustler's standards and i have seen a little bit of my temps going up on my motor, but overall it is great.

yes this stuff is a bear to get off your hands and for that reason i use a tool to apply it rather than my hands

this is the 26cc container of it that i got from ebay for about 15 bucks shipped.
sorry for the bad quality i used my phone



i do like that they don't rip you off by getting container with the bottom being a quart inch up from the bottom of the walls. Also they stuff this thing full to the brim

I feel bad for the gorillas...

JK but I'm going to try a small tube for my RC18T. The diffs are really loud and I hate using AE black grease because it gets into the ball diffs and makes them feel gritty and I have to rebuild them quicker.

Could something like this be used on a pinion and spur? I have been eating up a few of them on the flux, and I am not sure if it's improper meshing or if it's just the way it is...

I've ben using a product I get through work and it's identical,great stuff. I've ben using this stuff for years wouldn't think of using anything else for trannys,diffs gears. I use for building shocks buy applying to O-rings instead of Associated green slime. I use anywhere I would use white Lithium grease also.
Yes super sticky at first,get a little heat from using and it smooths out slippery slick but hangs on,sling resistant.

this stuff kicks nuts!
i use it on all the tranny gears like the 3905 emaxx tranny (duh lol) and the diffs, world of difference and lasts for ever!

I thought I would dig up this thread up since I just received a tub of the stuff today. I had been using GMK Supply Mobil 1 grease, and while it worked pretty well, it would still fling off of the ring and pinion. With my new on-road build I wanted it to be quiet as possible, so along with a plastic spur I'll be trying this out on the ring and pinions.

Everyone still using Gorilla Snawt?

Just starting using this stuff about 2 months ago. Simplechamp, you will NOT be disappointed! This stuff is great! Stays where you put it and does not fling off. I love it and use it on my Flux and Baja. Top notch, thanks for the review!
